Smooth dark fruit, dark cherry & cassis/black currant on the palate and a dry finish. Bernardus Marinus is one of my favorite Carmel Valley wines. I prefer at this point a younger vintage.

Drank over two days. Second preferred. Evolution is noticed. Full body, med tannin, med fruit. Loads of bitters. Second day yielded a much more balanced wine. Black fruit, amaro, and oak in the mouth, nose is matching. Very good intrigued notions. Still young. Needs 3-5 more years.

The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. It smells like blackberry, dark cherry, coffee and cigar. It tastes like blackberry, red currant, dark cherry, dust, black pepper and coffee. The body is medium. The wine finishes medium.

Cassis/prune on the nose. Very smooth on the palate. Pairs well with the duck breast. Very delicious. Chalky. Still drinking well!

Drank this evening. Still lots of fruit. I think there is still a window to drink this wine for another year.
